and is 52 degrees celius regular for a 800eb non overclocked processor?

I recommend the Mushkin as well. If you decide to get it send me an e-mail. I know where to get better prices than they have posted on their site.

52c is wayyyyy too hot. What HSF do you have???

No- 52c is excessive. What type of cooler are you using. If these are idle temperatures or minimum load I would suspect that the heatsink isn't sitting squarely on the cpu die. Or there is excessive thermal compound present. If it's the Intel heatsink/fan they are usually a little better than that, but the thermal "patch" they use leaves alittle to be desired. Good thermal compound such as Arctic Silver is much preferred.

i just got the dual fan cooler and i figureed out that i needed thermal grease since the original grease turned hard(!!??) and it's stuck on the oem heatsink
i have to go out and buy some of those stuff tomorrow since i just figured out how to apply it

since i live in hong kong, i can get memory for really cheap price(like 50 to 70 us) for a piece of pc133 sdram, i need to know like what would be good for overclocking since the most i can get out of what i m using now is 840

I just bought some new ram and read ALOT of reviews before I did. Best bang for your $$ get the Kingmax or OCZ ram. If money is no problem get the rev3 or rev3 from Mushkin.

I went with the rev3 and am not happy so they are sending me a new stick to try. My curent stick will only run stable to 152 @ cas2,2,2 or so and Ive seen other have there rev2 run in the 160s at cas2,2,2. Ive had it up to 163-164 @ cas3 though:)
